God knows what they're putting in the water in Brisbane. Moses Gunn Collective, a psych-pop quintet from the Sunshine State, have put on record the kind of loose, insanely fun party you don't want to miss – one where you wake up in a pile of glitter and with a membership to a freshly formed cult. There's a sweet spot between spontaneous jams and uplifting, expertly crafted pop that the band regularly hit, the trip only coming back to Earth for sombre closer "Neighbourhood", a melancholy lament on suburban malaise – until, half-way through, it takes off for the stars again, the brief check-in with reality a reminder that sometimes it's better to just lose yourself in a day-glo dream.
